Your intimate feeling toward Russians

I meant all the figures about average IQ. But anyway please provide me with a link.

Racial disctinctions surely exist but that of kind of information wisely isn't available for the average man and I wouldn't share it among the cryptic or explicit nationalists who present on every forum.

Well I have almost fogotten, Ivan IV was a true heir of Paleologos through his grand mother (Zoiya), who was a doughter of Constantine's XII brother (despot Phoma).

BTW History of Mistra is not my favorite topic, because of total desperation.

We're not going to get into one of those 'Who's got the biggest dictonary' arguments, are we?

Czars believed to be successors to the Roman emperors.
For propaganda reasons they claimed so called Monomakh Cap had been presented by the Byzantine emperor Constantine IX Monomachus to his grandson Vladimir.

The true origin of the cap is well known today:
Golden Horde and Uzbeg Khan lol.

And what? We all know that Monomakh's hat was really not byzantine, but dose it mean that Vladimir or Ivan haven't been true relatives of byzantine emperors?

Relatives ... yes.
By no means designated successors.

So, really there were only three monarchs in Europe who might be proud for their relations with roman emperors - Otto III, Vladimir Monomakh and Ivan IV...by the way

Not at all. I'm just wondering what's the factual basis for southern's statement.

I'm seeing claims of higher IQ for certain nationalities which I also like to know if the claimants have any scientific proofs or studies to back up those statements.

Ancient greek language had about 1 million words.If you add hellenistic greek,greek of roman period(like in New Testimony),middle age greek(byzantine) and new greek words you get the largest number of words.



There are tables with statistics of IQ of all folks on earth which are updated every year.These are well known facts.
Poles have the highest IQ among Slavs.They have the same IQ as Ashkenazi Jews but higher than Jews in general(african Jews have IQ close to african people and arabic Jews close to arabic people.Jews of Spain were mostly arabic etc).

Russians are true europeans. Our new president listens to western music and does joging.

And indeed that is the true definition of a European. Though he might have to start shopping at a hypermarket to really achieve this esteemed status. ;-)

I always recall that while seeing russian bydlo.



Our old president speaks german and does judo... apart from that he also did witchhunting and political persecution. In that context I don't really care whether he's european or asian, or half-bred...

Among other things, one of my big problems with Russia is that they still think they won the 1972 Olympic Basketball gold medal! Bull roar! I know this is small potatoes compared to lies and war travesties but for Christ sake, the thing was so screwed up how could you accept such a dubious medal? One of my deepest regrets as a Polish man is the fact that the Polish sporting body voted with the Russians to uphold the Olympic ruling. Rubbish!

My greatest grudge against the Russians is that the russian referee at the football worldchampionship final 1966 gifted one goal to the english and therefore helped them to win against Germany!

Why wasn't there a law against putting a Russian against Germans so shortly after the war??? *grumble*

Time to move on BB..... LOL

Ayyway it was the linesman that gave the goal. Oh he was Russian too

Attitude of Russians towards Germans has never actually been bad. Even after the War... Two last years on end they have taken second place in survey of Russians' sympathy to other nations (Ukranians for example are on the bottom of this chart). Guess why? On the one hand they conduct pro-american policy, study their own interests, always speak out if Russian policy don't satisfy them, but on the other... they behave like a really Great Nation. They have never complained which make them similar to Russians.

We have hypermarkets in Russia.

You seem to be beyond a joke. Don't be so serious.

I am sorry.

Well... hopefully "sorry" is not a noun here.

Let's say that you are right and that the goal should not have been allowed.

So what's the final score? 3 - how many?

I have some family who are Russian and a few friends too. There is a self-sufficiency that I have observed amongst all of them that I really admire. All the Russians that I know seem to be extremely hard-working and strong. I also really like Russia - the parts that I have visited.

I had a Russian TA once in college teaching music theory. My class was having trouble getting a concept and we asked her if she had trouble learning it. She said that she learned it when she was like eight, but yeah it must have been hard. lol that was mindblowing to me.

I personally like Russians alot, sometimes they are suspicious and hard-shelled but usually once you get to know them they are very kind people. They are usually straightforward and smart, good work ethic. I curse Russia alot because of what they did to Poles and because of their awful government, but I actually like Russian people.

I know what you mean about your TA alot of my maths lecturese were the same. Oh I learnt this advanced set theory when I was four. They must have an incredible education system that's all I can say!

Ну да, ну да.... только помни всегда, что это как ты выразился "быдло" - часть твоего народа, может быть им просто немного не повезло и они не смогли получить такого блестящего образования как ты. Но если вдруг завтра произойдёт не дай бог какой катаклизм, именно они пойдут защищать страну, пока ты, утончённый и образованный засранец будешь поливать гразью их, свою страну и "деспота" президента на чужестранном форуме.

It's not just me who thinks that the Cyrillic alphabet always looks like it's all in capitals, is it?

No, had you ever learned Russian in your life, I guess you wouldn't have thought that.

MY FAVORITE RUSSIANS

Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale & their KGB man 'Fearless Leader'



From one of the great American cartoons, the "Rocky & Bullwinkle Show'...Rocky was a Squirrel & Bullwinkle a Moose...both lived in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota USA...Boris & Natasha were two KGB agents assigned with capturing the Moose & Squirrel, who they considered to be CIA agents...a typical conversation between Boris and Natasha went something like this:

Boris: Netasha, ve have to locate Moose...he is in possesion of very important information needed by our Fearless Leader!
Natasha: Boris!!...All I hear from you is Moose, moose, moose, moose!...Vat about ME!...don't I mean anything?...All you care about is moose and sqvirrel!
Boris: Oh, Netasha...you know I care for you!...Vat vould I do without your devotion to me and to the party...Please, be reasonable!
Natasha: Oh....Boris!...I know you care about me, but sometimes I feel left out!
Boris: No, Netasha, no, you are not left out!
Natasha: Allright, Boris, allright...
Boris: But, Netasha, one thing, if you haven't seen moose, vat is latest information on Sqvirrel?
Natasha: xx#!!!&$#?\/@5!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a question, Is the russian language and the polish language similar in any way?

Russian is an East-Slavic language, Polish is a West-Slavic language.
